Hardback. Condition: New. Exposing the Maya focuses on the works of 19th-century photographers Désiré Charnay, Alice and Augustus Le Plongeon, Teobert Maler, Alfred Maudslay and Adela Breton, all of whom were masters of their craft and travelled extensively to sites in Mexico and Central America. The over 100 selected images in this volume, together with nearly 40 additional contextual images featuring sketches from travel journals, hand-coloured drawings, prints, and maps, are combined with the photographers' own words found in their published writings, journals and letters to provide insight into their methods, context for their images, and capture the realities of field work in Mesoamerica. Accessible and highly illustrated, Exposing the Maya features rare and important early photographs of the archaeological ruins and remains of the great Mayan and Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica, from an age that witnessed the evolution of photographic techniques and brought to life the long-faded murals and decoration of these ruins. This is an absorbing story of incredible journeys, the challenging conditions under which these pioneering photographers produced their images, and how they perceived the remnants of these ancient indigenous cultures in modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras. …

Exposing the Maya presents rare and important early photographs of the archaeological ruins and remains of the great Mayan civilizations of Mexico and Central America. It also includes the reports of six early pioneers of nineteenth-century Mesoamerican archaeology-Désiré Charnay, Alice and Augustus Le Plongeon, Teobert Maler, Alfred Maudslay, and Adela Breton-all masters of their craft who traveled extensively to sites in Mexico and Central America. The over one hundred selected images in this volume, together with nearly forty additional contextual images featuring sketches from travel journals, hand-colored drawings, prints, and maps, are combined with the photographers' own words in journals and letters to provide insight into their methods and context for their images, and to capture the realities of fieldwork in Mexico and Guatemala. The volume presents a fascinating account of this period of expeditionary photography, combining as it did drawing, painting, and illustration with the photographic medium to bring to life the long-faded murals and decoration of these ruins, and the crucial role played by photography in the deciphering of Maya glyphs.
